The International Crisis Group has published two reports dealing with the two most relevant subject of the moment: adoption of Serbia’s new constitution and the process of determining Kosovo’s future status.

The report on the adoption of the new constitution is highly critical of the Serbian authorities, describing the referendum process as “neither free nor fair”, the constitution itself as “stepping away from the European values”, and the ultimate goal of its adoption at this time as intended to undermine the international community’s plans for Kosovo.

In its Kosovo report, International Crisis Group advocates swift solution to the Kosovo status problem, advising against postponement, which it sees as possible source of instability in the region, notably that on the one hand “further delay would be taken in Belgrade not as a cue to cooperate with an orderly Kosovo process but as a further opportunity to wreck it”, and on the other that “the longer the Kosovo Albanians are forced to wait, the greater the chance they will discredit themselves with unilateral independence moves or riots.”
